Smoke gets in my eyes...

We're still blanketed in a smokey haze, but now the clouds are moving in as well. The picture on the left is of the trail leading into the basin, this is the point at which i stopped this morning. Usually, you can see mountains in the distance, but the smoke blocks the view in the picture. While hiking, i could see the mountains, but i think the flash and the haze react and make the smoke appear thicker than it is. The picture on the right is at the first rest area on the trail. I took a picture here yesterday too.
